FSSC 22000: Who Issues the Certificate?
Foundation FSSC owns the scheme; a licensed certification body conducts the certification process and makes the certification decision. Check the actual proposed legal entity in FSSC's official certification-body list, including the scheme and relevant scope. Accreditation of a body is a separate role, not a food business's certificate.
Identify the licensed issuing organisation
Distinguish the auditor, decision-maker, consultant and scheme owner. A preparation report or a training certificate is not FSSC 22000 certification of the site. The applicant implements the system and prepares procedures specific to its own operations and operating records. A certification enquiry to Kayra concerns actual activities, sites, application information, authority and impartiality risks; this role does not include designing or implementing the client’s system. For FSSC certification, separately verify the selected legal entity’s programme licence, relevant scope and current status; ISO 22000 accreditation alone is not an FSSC licence. A management-system certification body, other parts of the same legal entity and controlled entities cannot offer or provide management-system consultancy; separate contracts do not remove this restriction.
Match the group brand to the contracting entity
Hypothetically, a proposal uses a group brand, but the licensed FSSC entry names a different legal company. Ask which entity will contract, audit and issue the certificate, and compare its answer with the current official entry and the proposed food-chain scope.
Keep the written explanation and licence check. Do not assume that a licence extends automatically to every affiliate using the same logo. If names or authority remain unresolved, obtain confirmation before accepting the certification arrangement instead of editing a template to match the brand.
Separate body licensing from the site's certificate record
The certification-body list checks the issuer; the Public Register checks certified organisations. After a certificate is issued, compare the site's legal name, address, scope, COID and current status with the relevant record. Refer uncertainty to the responsible certification body; an unclear search alone does not establish fraud.
The business operates its system and supplies truthful evidence; the licensed body retains the independent certification process. Consultancy does not guarantee issuance, replace the body's decision or approve every food product. The applicant implements the system and prepares procedures specific to its own operations and operating records. A certification enquiry to Kayra concerns actual activities, sites, application information, authority and impartiality risks; this role does not include designing or implementing the client’s system. For FSSC certification, separately verify the selected legal entity’s programme licence, relevant scope and current status; ISO 22000 accreditation alone is not an FSSC licence. A management-system certification body, other parts of the same legal entity and controlled entities cannot offer or provide management-system consultancy; separate contracts do not remove this restriction.
Official sources
The licensed certification body issues the site certificate through its process. Scheme ownership, accreditation and consultancy are separate; no Kayra licensing or issuing status is asserted.
Does a group logo establish FSSC licensing?
No. Check the actual legal body, scheme and scope.
Does an accreditation body issue the food site's FSSC certificate?
It accredits certification bodies; the licensed certification body certifies the organisation.
Is the Public Register the issuer-licence list?
No. Check the certification-body list for licensing and the Public Register for the site's certification.
